Mic Problems in CS:S

[Rhythm]

Hey, I have just recently bought the Razer Cacharias (can't spell it) headset. But when I tried them in CS:S no one could see my name pop up or hear me. But I went in Vent and it worked fine. Everyone could hear me. I am cunfuzzled. HALP!

voice_loopback 1 in console is a good way to test to see if it works in CSS.
But make sure your pressing the right key (K is default, but I like to have mine an F)
Make sure your settings in your audio tab in CSS work with you.

Also make sure the headset is set as your default recording device. Because ventrilo, in the options you can set the input device to your mic, as with CS:S,, it uses the one you have set to default.

How to set your mic to the Default Recording device:
Depending on your Operating System, things can be different. If you have Vista or 7, right click your volume control in the taskbar and go to "Recording Devices", Then select your microphone and push "Set Default".

If not on either of those, look around in your control panel for sound, then once in that, select the recording devices tab and do the same thing said above.
To test once done, use the test mic option in CS:S Options or do as matt said with "voice_loopback 1" in console and to disable "voice_Loopback 0"
